LETTERS and comments

This page provides links to letters and comments about the TREC concepts published in the
media. Unless the author is mentioned, letters and comments are from Gerry Wolff.

These letters and comments are some of the results of an online campaign to correct misleading information that is being published about nuclear power and to raise awareness of concentrating solar power at the same time. If you would like to help with this campaign, please get in touch.

14 Letter from Gerry Wolff in the Sunday Times. The published version of the letter is materially different from what was submitted, especially in the first paragraph. The world's total present energy consumption is about 8 times larger than the world's electricity consumption.

3 Letter from Gerry Wolff in the Sunday Telegraph (UK). This is a shortened version of what I sent in and they have introduced a significant error: replacing "110 km x 110 km" with "110 sq km" which is, of course, not the same thing at all!

4 "No need for nuclear in world's sun belt" (letter published, with other letters, in SciDev.Net in response to an earlier
editorial suggesting that new nuclear power stations may be needed because
renewable forms of energy will not be sufficient to meet our needs. The letters
are also published in allAfrica.com and TMCnet).

22 Letter from Gerry Wolff in
